abstract="The physiological glare thresholds (defined as the logarithm of the ratio at threshold between illuminances of glare source and target background) of 148 subjects from 5 to 91 years of age were measured in a Wolf glare tester. The data can be represented by a power function: (physiological glare threshold) =--3 × 10−5(age)2.4 + 2.4. When tested in a realistic driving simulator, the headlight glare resistances (defined as the logarithm of the ratio of mean &quot;acceptable&quot; glare illuminance to fixed ambient illuminance) of 30 of these subjects were also found to decline with age. These results are discussed in in terms of a hypothesis: (headlight glare resistance) = (physiological glare threshold) + (subjective glare tolerance). All these functions have large interpersonal variation. Field measurements are provided on relevant glare ratios in typical night driving situations.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
